It Appears That The Witcher 3 Will Be Awesome

I posted the first trailer months ago, but now The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, has come out with an even cooler, more brutal and awesome trailer! This game is going to rock!

I never played the first Witcher, but The Witcher 2 was fantastic. It’s a fantasy RPG where you play Geralt, a witch-hunter who is good with a sword and knows a few spells. The story is very big, the scenery is usually breath-taking in its graphical power, and the character intersection/role-playing is second to none. It’s not just your generic hero out chatting up NPCs. Geralt has a whole world built around him, including friends, lovers, enemies and more. So this whole series gets my recommendation, if you want a well-made, fantasy game.

GTA 5 is Coming, and Me Without an X-Box

I found this picture online the other day, comparing the game map of Grand Theft Auto 5 with that of Grand Theft Auto 4…and I am quite impressed.

Unfortunately, here I sit with my X-Box still on the fritz. It’s been more than a month since my X-Box died on me again, and this was a new (used) one I bought in the hopes that I could get more than just two months out of it. Stupid local retailers. Anyway, I’m just doing a little sharing. I’m going to contact X-Box this week to get it repaired. I think it’s going to be about $100 – which I barely have right now – and I’ve heard good things about their repair process. So $100 and in a few weeks, I’ll get an X-Box back in time to play GTA 5. Sounds good to me.

I’m still dying to play State of Decay too!

Wise Gaming Advice

I am a man who loves cleverness. And clearly this Brental Floss guy is one clever fella. He puts to song what we’re all thinking. You’d have to be some kind of maniac to want to buy the Playstation 4 or the X-Box One on launch day. Follow the talking Game Boy’s advice: be staunch, don’t buy at launch.

Robin and Multiplayer in Batman: Arkham Origins!

I’m still not sure I understand how this is going to work, but IGN revealed today that Batman: Arkham Origins is not only going to have a multiplayer segment, but that multiplayer is going to have Robin! I’m over the moon here! Watch this video and try and understand what’s happening.

So OK, read that article on IGN and try to figure it out with me. It seems that there will two teams of 3 player-controlled henchmen, one team for Joker and one team for Bane. The two teams fight each other for control of territory and spawn points in a map. Sounds typical. The cool part, it seems, is that there will also be two other players in the map playing Batman and Robin. And it will be up to Batman and Robin to sneak around and subdue henchmen on both teams, kind of like flies in the ointment.

That sounds really cool.

Unfortunately, it seems that Robin won’t be a part of the actual main game, which is sad. But still, there is some Robin! And based on that video, it doesn’t look like the same Robin from Batman: Arkham City. So it looks like we’ll have a Dick Grayson version of Robin teaming up with Batman in multiplayer mode. I hope you all won’t hold it against me too much if I keep picking Robin when we play multiplayer matches together.
